We are headquartered in New York City, with offices in Atlanta, Georgia; West Palm Beach, Florida; Germany; Hong Kong; Singapore; Spain; and the UK. We provide objective advice on long-term wealth building and create distinctive investment products that deliver value relative to market-based benchmarks. We operate two core lines of business: (i) our advisory team provides advice, wealth planning, and retirement services to approximately 2500 individual clients, and (ii) our investments business consists of alpha-seeking alternative investment strategies across public and private markets. A defining characteristic of our business is our perfect alignment with our clients. Our extraordinary mandate as a boutique investment and advisory firm, grounded in a core set of principles, enables us to create unique products and services while keeping our clients’ interests front and center. Much of our success can be attributed to our insatiable intellectual curiosity. We seek to hire individuals who are passionate about our mission and values, and who always strive toward excellence. We care about fostering a culture of continual improvement, as individuals and as an organization, and are excited to work with individuals who have a similar growth mindset.

MIO (and related entities) is an independent, indirect, and wholly owned subsidiary of McKinsey & Company. The Portfolio MIO Partners manages a portfolio covering an especially broad range of strategies, markets, and legal structures. Part of our capital is directly invested in our Macro Trading portfolio, which includes relative value macro trades to create alpha, as well as portfolio hedges and beta trades to manage the aggregate portfolio exposure to different markets. As a subsidiary of McKinsey & Co., MIO does not directly trade any single-name equity or credit positions, but our Macro Trading portfolio spans a broad range of asset classes, including the trading of broad-based equity and credit indices. In addition to our internally managed capital, we are an active allocator to external investment managers, either as a Limited Partner (LP) in an investment manager’s commingled fund or as a Separately Managed Account (SMA) on a platform that we manage in-house. This diversity provides a unique opportunity for the professional development of the Risk team, which we relish. The Risk Team The Risk Team works closely with our colleagues across Investments, Treasury, Operations, and Legal to assess and manage the risks we and our investors face. The following characteristics define the nature of our work and our team culture: Strategic and Disciplined Decision Making: We add value through an in-depth understanding of the nature and impact of various risks and consistently reflecting them in our decisions. We aim to ensure that our portfolios are sufficiently resilient without undue cost or unreasonably limiting our investment opportunities. Thought Partnership: We are independent but not isolated. We aim to achieve the best understanding and approach through collaboration with our colleagues. We are not afraid to challenge or be challenged, supported by our mutual commitment to the interests of our clients. Innovative Thinking: We try to learn from the collective experience of our profession across the industry while being unafraid to do things differently (after rigorous evaluation). Operational Excellence: We ensure our decisions are accurately implemented every day through rigorous upfront testing of our systems and daily diligence. We need to understand the limitations of each model or process and recognize when it does not apply to a new situation.
